Gladiatorisms ……. Bizarre, weird things…Normal or….?

I appreciate the info. In my case, this 2022 was built with the Uconnect 4 with 7" display. Those settings are not to be found. Also, no nav built in - I use Android Auto for all apps including navigation. Thanks anyway.

Use pure blue tooth and phone is the volume master . I HATE android auto . It always erased my phone favorites. Deleted the app and will not use it is pure crap. The Nav in the jeep is ten times better than Maps as it only works if phone has signal. Jeep Nav works anywhere.

You can lock the doors on the Jeep with the Unconnect app while the Key Fob is still in the Jeep. And it will stay locked . Until you use app or second Fob to unlock it !!

Interesting….. because normally, you can’t lock it when the key fob is inside (It knows).

Except when there are service vehicles ahead and it scares the poop outta me.

I don’t mind the ‘service vehicles’ warnings…. Mine warns me when there are tow trucks in the area.

My passenger seat has a speaker that provides me with driving instructions.

Mine has a speed limiter. When I go too fast. I get slapped up side the head.

My passenger seat has the Auxiliary Active Safety Group System. It lets me know when I'm following too closely, changing lanes too aggressively, turning too quickly and generally "driving like an asshole."

Any idea how I can disable it without giving it half my stuff?

Sometimes when my phone is connected via wire, the radio will turn on for several seconds and play whatever was recently playing at the volume level it was at when the truck turned off.

Sometimes I get a vibration/rattle around 3500 rpm in 3rd gear at heavy loads. Still diagnosing, but pretty confident it's related to the clutch pedal assembly.

I get a random 2800 rpm stumble under light loads, but not always. It IS enough to shake the whole truck.

Pretty sure he's already got a muff in his ear. Oh, wait, you said...nevermind.

Wow, good idea. Thanks. Will keep that in mind and not blast the next door neighbors if I come in later at night and want to move the trash cans to the street for the morning pickup.

Also, handy to know if I want to make off with a JT I see running at a convenience store. I won't fully close the door for a block or so.

It won't move with the door not closed....

My 2024 allows me to change volume for all things. On the new dash screen, when you adjust the volume you can click the arrow on the right and it brings up all the options.

I wish mine would save the volume settings. Except for Media, mine all revert to level 15 which is way too loud.

I don't close the door all the way when I get out to open/close the gate with the fob on my belt. The horn doesn't sound. If you don't close the door all the way when putting it in gear it won't move. My wife's '23 Grand Wagoneer is exactly the same. The locking the trans is a pain for me when wanting to lean out the door when backing in close quarters or driving up on a ramp. If that is the worse thing I have to deal with, all is good.

I discovered on my 25 JT 3.6 Willys that it's only the driver's door. I had the passenger door open and the vehicle went into gear. I agree, pain when trying to back a trailer up a driveway or down a ramp.

My Gladiators radio would do the popping and crackling noises for the first couple months, it went away and now sounds normal lol.

When listening to Pandora, after I disconnect from a phone call the music is garbled. Radio off and on, problem solved. Every time, not random.

My new 2026 JT Willys used to show the current fuel economy. It disappeared, came back for a short while, and now seems gone forever. Our 25 JT did the same thing. Probably an over-the air update or something. My wife's JL shows it all the time. Anyone know the secret to program the current mileage readout on a JT o it will stay on all the time?

Every once in a while Carplay stops working for a trip. Can sometimes get it back restarting the Truck. On top of that randomly every 4-6 months the Homelink garage door opener won't work. Next day just fine. Restarting, or cycling through Stop/Acc/Run doesn't always provide an immediate fix. Like, okay then...

There's a thread on the issue and how to fix it. Too tired to search for it.

Unplug the door and it will move
